1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 903 What on earth is going on?
Chu Xue helped Fu Yancheng serve another bowl of rice, then remembered Xiao Wanpeng and Duan Ruirui's wedding: "Mom, do you know why Uncle and the others postponed Fourth Cousin's wedding to the second half of next year?"

She was busy those few days and didn't have time to ask Duan Ruirui about the situation, so she went on a business trip later.

Xiao's mother added half a spoonful of porridge to her bowl: "Didn't your eldest uncle's third son go to the countryside? We urged him to get married before, but he said he hadn't met anyone he liked. But now that the fourth son has settled down, he called back and said he's getting married. The date is set for the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, which is tomorrow."

Your aunt was at a loss for words when your uncle and his family were asked to prepare the things for his wedding. She had no choice but to swallow her pride and go to the Duan family again to explain the situation, postponing the wedding until after the new year.

"What? My cousin Wanli is getting married tomorrow?"

"Yes, they got married in Northeast China. They said they would bring their wives back after the New Year when the weather gets warmer."

"What kind of mess is this?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, your cousin Wanli is the third oldest. It wasn't a problem when your fourth cousin got married first because he didn't have a girlfriend before, but now that he's settled down, it's not good to skip him."

"Which family member went there?"

"Your eldest uncle and aunt have passed away; they left a few days ago."

Your dad and I asked your grandpa, and he said that I'm heavily pregnant and it's inconvenient for me to go out. Your dad just started working recently, so taking leave isn't easy, mainly because the Northeast is too far away. Your uncle also said there's no need for everyone to go and suffer; we can get together when they come back.”

After finishing her porridge, Chuxue asked again, "Isn't the eighth day of the second lunar month after the New Year also an auspicious day?"

Xiao's mother put away the bowls and was about to get up to wash them when Fu Yancheng took over, saying, "Auntie, I'll wash them."

How could Xiao's mother let him wash? She quickly gave Chuxue a meaningful look.

Chu Xue disliked washing dishes the most, but she couldn't very well let Fu Yancheng, an outsider, do it: "I'll do it, how can I let you do it?"

Fu Yancheng stubbornly stopped him, saying, "You can't just freeload without doing any work. Besides, I have to make a good impression." After saying that, he picked up his bowl and hurried to the kitchen, thinking to himself: Luckily, I didn't bring Xiao Wan over today.

As Xiao's mother watched Fu Yancheng carry the bowl and chopsticks out, a smile appeared on her lips: "Yancheng is really good to you. After you get married, you'd better treat him well and not throw tantrums all the time."

Chu Xue looked outside and said, "I'm not even married yet, and you're already siding with him?"

Xiao's mother raised her hand and patted her: "What are you saying? Who am I saying all this for? Isn't it just to help you two get along and live a good life?"

Chu Xue didn't want to talk about this anymore: "Is there any cotton left from before?"

When Xiao's mother heard Chuxue ask about the cotton, an unnatural look flashed across her face: "We've used it all up."

Chu Xue was wiping her shoes with her head down and didn't notice her expression: "Then give me my cotton-padded coat. It's been snowing the whole way back, and my cotton-padded coat is a bit wet. It feels really damp when I wear it."

Upon hearing this, Xiao's mother quickly stood up to help her get it.

First Snow also stood up.

Mother Xiao said, "Just wait here, I'll go get it."

Chu Xue ignored her and followed directly over. She saw cotton-padded clothes and trousers neatly arranged on the cabinet, and immediately noticed a cotton vest on top.

When Xiao's mother saw Chuxue following her, she quickly explained, "Well, there was some cotton left over, so I made a cotton vest for Chunxiao."

Chu Xue didn't respond. She took out her cotton-padded coat and trousers from under her vest: "I'll go back inside and change first. The sun is shining nicely outside today, so I can hang them out to dry."
